Have you imported the turtle module with an `import turtle` line? — Hoog, Jan 29 '22 at 18:45

I think you forgot to import turtle

import turtle
window=turtle.Screen()
window.title("Pong")
window.bgcolor("black")
window.setup(width=800,height=600)
window.tracer(0)

You need to import the module before calling the sub-functions within it. In your case, you need the turtle module.

import turtle
window=turtle.Screen()
window.title("Pong")
window.bgcolor("black")
window.setup(width=800,height=600)
window.tracer(0)

However, if you added the line: import turtle, and encounter the error below:

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
import tkinter as TK 
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

Have you imported the Turtle module? if you didn't, try this one:

from turtle import *

Then the rest of your code

This would not make the OP's code work as it imports everything in `turtle` into the current namespace. – Chris Jan 29 '22 at 19:32
